Teardrop Lauren Kate Books

So, Lauren Kate has a new series out. I fell in love with her Fallen series like so many others, and like so many others was slightly let down with her ending of that series, but i am not here to talk about that book i am here to talk about Teardrop.

Teardrop started slow, heck in some parts a lot of places were slow. If i am into a book i finish it and don't get up and walk around, it took me three days to finish this book. It started to get better near the end and like so many trilogies that is what happens because the author wants you to read the end installment.

Eureka- i'm serious that is her name, horrible, horrible, i hate it- and Ander don't really have a connection in the beginning. Eureka went from finding him hot to stalker to her wanting to confess her all dying love in matter of a few parts of the book and Ander wasn't in much of the book. He disappears for a few chapters and we have no idea what the heck he was up to or what he was doing. Was he watching Eureka like he was in the beginning? was he fighting his family? he shows up trying to be mysterious but it was just making me annoyed. Her father, well he just needs to be hit. I didn't care for the father at all and Eureka's stepmother, i really didn't know what to make of her. But i will read on because now i want to know a few answers and hopefully i find them out.

Teardrop Lauren Kate Books Reviews

Being a huge fan if the Fallen Series I got excited when I saw the release of Teardrop, Lauren Kate's latest series. And I have to say I was not disappointed. Teardrop tells the story of Eureka from the point of her mothers death when she was saved at the last moment by the Seedbarer sent to kill her. Enter Ander, who has spent his whole life watching her, learning about her, all with the aim of stopping her from fulfilling the prophecy foretelling her coming and the rise of Atlantis. But in spending his life observing her, he fell in love. Now I'm not going to tell you more of the story line as you really need to enjoy the twists turns and surprises for yourself. This is a great story and I'm excited about the prospect of the second and more books in this new series.
I loved the concept of the story and add to that the mystery of a connection to Atlantis and Lauren Kate has another winner on her hands. Already a love triangle takes the centre stage and there is enough mystery that you do not know who to root for. Brooks has changed, but not of his own free will and Ander is the mysterious stanger that takes Eureka's breath away from the first glance. There are some nasty moments in the book with very graphic descriptions of a murder or two, which makes you wonder whom you can trust. I did become a bit irritated with Eureka's indecisiveness and sometimes petulant behaviour, but it is a young adult (teenage market) book and so it is to be expected and I cannot fault the author for that. A very readable story and I am looking forward to the next installment.
I was pretty impressed with the Fallen series, so I went into this series with high hopes... I was not disappointed at all!

Lauren Kate has such an incredible ability to draw you in, defining characters and scenes so that you're almost watching the book instead of just reading the words. Yet, she still somehow manages to incorporate surprises and not be transparent in what comes next.

The heroine is amazing and the supporting characters are developed in the exact way that the main character knows them... So as the reader you aren't figuring something out and just waiting for the heroine to catch on.

There's mystery and intrigue, twists and turns, and characters you can genuinely care about. I'm already waiting for the next book in the series!!

BEAUTIFUL LOOKING BOOK. LIKE SRSLY.
I own the new cover. The original cover was ok, but it appeared that she would never get out of her fallen cover look. "Girl In A Pretty Dress With A Pretty Background". Then she changed it and I love it! (You may argue it is just another pretty, cut-off girl face, but when you receive it and take the time to look its got a lot more detail than that) The entire cover has a low temperature, with blues coming in everywhere. The title is slightly translucent, so you can see strands of hair in it. The title page features dripping water-glass, and at the beginning of every chapter is a fitting teardrop.
VERY PRETTY.

I liked this book. Didn't love it or hate it. And I was lacking in the apathy that I tend to feel towards 3-star books. The author did a good job. I was compelled to keep reading. This book is an airy one, though. No real deepness happening anywhere. Unfortunately even the characters fell a little flat. But, overall, the story was good, the characters satisfying, and the writing nice, like a calming light breeze in the midst of a hurricane.
I will say however that if you have a long list of books to catch up on this one may not be your first choice. It is a great choice though if you've just gotten off a very emotional book and you need SOMETHING to cool you down. Like if you just read We Were Liars, or The Fault in Our Stars, or Before I Fall.

****SPOILERS BELOW SO LEAVE NOW MY LITTLE PIXIES WHO ACTUALLY CARE-----OTHERWISE WELCOME TO THE REALM OF THE TRUTH******

I did like this book. Mostly because it was entertaining, something to do. You should read it sometime. But below I'm gonna get into the things that really bugged me.

Eureka. Eureka. EUREKA. This is a personal annoyance, but it appears a few others share it, so I'm gonna mention it. The main character's name is annoying. Because this book is in the third-person point of view, (which I have no problem with) I had to read that name a lot. And after a while, it got annoying. As in, my brain stopped wanting to pronounce it half the time, and each time I read it it started sounding less and less like a word. As one reviewer points out, "I HAVE FOUND IT!" resonates within every page.

The author describes things. As authors are supposed to do. Yet, I found myself skipping these descriptions quite frequently, not because they were long or anything, I just felt like there was nothing drawing me in to read them. I look back and only now realize why- there is not nearly enough figurative language or interesting words in this book. There was figurative language, but it was small and boring, and used in so many other books it cannot be called unique. This was like this. That was that color. Those were those shaped. None of this is to say the author wasn't detailed, I could see what she described in my mind just fine, but it was just... meh.

And lastly, the pacing of the book. Eureka is sad. Eureka continues to be sad. Eureka sees Ander. Eureka is confused by Ander. Eureka continues to be confused by Ander. The first three quarters of the book were the same few scenarios recycled with different settings and slightly different circumstances. The only real new things happening were the updates from Madame Blavatsky about Eureka's book. Then we get to the ending and things start picking up. People die. People almost die. Emotions run tight as the twins are strung up by the Seedbearers. (On a tangent, why are they called Seedbearers anyway? I'm not really sure I ever got an explanation) And finally, Eureka reaches the point where she can't take her sadness anymore and finally cries.
Let me clear this up, this entire book led up to this moment. Eureka hasn't cried since she was little, and even then she was shut down quickly. Eureka has been through her parent's divorce, lost her mother in a freak accident, endured torment by a fellow student, pretty much caused the death of her only confidante, lost her best friend Brooks, seen her darling younger siblings hung from a swingset by their limbs, witnessed the death of her stepmother, and now she learns that if she is to kill any of the Seedbearers, she will also kill her switched-sides Seedbearer friend Ander. And it overwhelms her and she cries. an the first paragraph is great. But in the next few, it appears that the pain is ebbing and Eureka's tears slow to a silent fall. That's not how people cry when they're in that much pain, especially not when they are described to cry with the built up pain and suffering of no one else on earth. I feel like more detail, more time, more updates should have been put into Eureka's tears. It was a bit of a letdown.

All that said, Eureka was interesting and caring and easy to like. So was Cat, though a bit annoying. My favorite characters were actually the twins, probably because they were the only 4-year olds I've ever heard of that weren't actually exceptionally annoying. Not that most 4yos are bad, just a lot to deal with. The book was a little slow, but well thought out. The ending was satisfying and I've found I actually want Brooks to be found, despite the circumstance. Pick this book up next time you can. You'll like it. )
So, Lauren Kate has a new series out. I fell in love with her Fallen series like so many others, and like so many others was slightly let down with her ending of that series, but i am not here to talk about that book i am here to talk about Teardrop.
